    Dairy and Gluten Free Sausage Gravy

    You have your pillowy Gluten and Dairy Free Biscuits baking away in the oven. Now what? While a warm buttery biscuit is magic on its own, it gets transported to over-the-top status with the addition of a rich and savory gravy. This quick cooking sausage gravy is the perfect addition to freshly baked biscuits while also being a great way to transform those leftover biscuits into something completely new.

    Ingredients

    Whether you're looking for brunch inspiration or breakfast for dinner, Dairy and Gluten Free Creamy Sausage Gravy is always the right answer. Anytime anything starts with a pound of sausage, you know it's going to be good.

    • Breakfast Sausage - This is going to add all of the spice and richness to the dish. Pick your favorite variety. Like things spicy? Go with a spicy sausage. Feeling herbaceous, use your favorite sage sausage. For gravy on the sweeter side maple sausage is a fun addition. You can also use a combination.
    • Onion - Adds depth and savory flavor.
    • Worcestershire Sauce - This adds instant umami as well as salt.
    • Cayenne - A little dash will give a mild back note of spice without overpowering the entire dish.
    • Paprika - Gives a slightly smoky note that compliments the meaty sausage.
    • Kosher Salt - Enhances all of the flavors of the ingredients. Because sausage has its own salt it doesn't take much.
    • Black Pepper - Gives mild, earthy spice.
    • Garlic Powder - Adds that bright, pungent pop of garlic without overpowering entire dish.
    • Dairy Free Heavy Cream - Adds richness and creaminess to this decadent sausage gravy recipe.
    • Water - Thins out the gravy so it can cook down and allow the flavors to concentrate.

    Top Tip for Dairy and Gluten Free Creamy Sausage Gravy

    Heavy Cream, even plant based Dairy Free heavy cream, naturally thickens as it cooks down. However, if you want an even thicker texture create a cornstarch slurry. Mix together one tablespoon of cornstarch and one tablespoon of water and add it to your gravy. Keep stirring until it thickens.
